I think life is perfect.

I really do.

I believe so for many different reasons. Like… recently for example, just when I was starting to think that I might have seen every single cheesecake type and variety in the world I stumbled upon this wonderful recipe and a whole new cheesecake dimension opened up before my eyes.

Life is perfect.

And these cheesecake cupcakes are too…

This is what you need to get as soon as possible.

To make the crust, I used store-bought oatmeal cookies that I pulsed in the food processor. And I loved that taste.

But, surely, graham crackers will do just fine.

Rice Pudding

Rice pudding used to be one of my most favorite treats when I was a kid.

My beloved Mom liked to prepare it quite often. Sometimes she made a rice pudding, and sometimes she turned rice pudding into a sweet rice pie, a lovely comfort food which you achieve by baking sweet boiled rice for a couple of minutes and then you serve it with fruit syrup. I liked that one too. But frankly, I liked it much better when my Mom had a bit of a lazy day and declared ‘That’s it!’ over a pot of steaming and fragrant boiled rice. I can still remember those days… the pot was green, the rice was sweet, and the life was magical.

Oh yeah, childhood… but back to the recipe… this is how I made the treat today…

This is what we need.

Oh, how I love simplicity.
